I'm not sure many historians would describe themselves as "winners," but either way, I really doubt Barr will like what they have to say about him. https://t.co/schkm3iwXf

Yes we fired him for lying but all is forgiven! https://t.co/tV6ByaC2BM

One last thing: Barr insisted months ago, with all the sincerity of a pro wrestler engaging in pre-match bluster, he would not be "bullied" into politicizing the Justice Department. This was true only because Barr did not need to be bullied into doing so. https://t.co/0s4kh8vy9w

And what's significant about Barr being both a nakedly partisan and corrupt authoritarian goon and a fully juiced-in longstanding member of the Republican establishment is that this problem doesn't suddenly vanish even if Trump is defeated in November https://t.co/gepzczULrQ

Breaking News: William Barr and John Yoo write memo stating that 800 years of common law, individual rights, and rule of law are just a suggestion. The attorney general is quoted as saying that the deep state interfered with Exxon Mobil's second quarter profit projections.

I didn't think the DOJ dropped charges after people had already pled guilty. Always learning something new.

I guess at least this means Flynn won't get a corrupt pardon.

@TonyLimaPOL Of course they are, Tony. Barr knows the election is looming, and he's going to shank his own prosecutors to get Flynn off. Hopefully, Judge Sullivan will disagree. But this isn't vindication, it's cronyism. You once understood this. Or maybe you never did and I hoped you did.

Flynn was fired by this president for lying to the @VP. He worked for a foreign power during the transition. He PLEADED GUILTY to lying to the @FBI. It was the Trump @TheJusticeDept that brought the case. https://t.co/2bp7mqWqbU

I'm so old, I remember when Mike Flynn took a meeting in December 2016 with the leaders of Austria's far right party that traces its lineage back to the Nazis. https://t.co/M2iehTJRyK
